Sefton Delmer stated that the Allies transported the bodies of hundreds of dead Germans, victims of Eisenhower’s pervasive starvation in the Rhine Meadow camps and other provisional camps, to use in their official films in order to incriminate the Germans. Abram Games and Delmer both confirmed that the bodies were not Jews. Edith Head, a costume designer, Ben Hecht, a screenwriter, Bernard Herrman, a composer, Lew Wasserman, and David O. Selznick assisted Hitchcock’s efforts for the government. Games maintained that Hitchcock was highly gifted and had a natural propensity for horror and suspense. Later, Selznick rewarded Hitchcock with very profitable film contracts and opportunities. 1708 Wasserman and Selznick directed a group of people who devised the special effects, such as the shrunken heads and the human skin (actually goat skin) allegedly used for wallets, gloves, and lampshades. They obtained the heads from a museum. Moshe Solomons admitted, “The holocaust is Hollywood at its absolute best.” 1709
James B. Donovan, a Harvard-educated lawyer and Commander in the U.S. Navy Reserve, supervised Budd Schulberg and others in the compilation of The Nazi Plan, a film written by Schulberg, made by Twentieth Century Fox, then run by Joseph and Nicholas Schenck, Darryl F. Zanuck, and Louis B. Mayer, for the U.S. Counsel for the Prosecution of Axis Criminality and the U.S. Office of the Chief Counsel for War Crimes as evidence at the International Military Tribunal (IMT) in Nuremberg. The compilers used newsreels and film footage from official German source material and films (1919-45). 1710 Schulberg would go on to win the Academy Award in 1954 for his screenplay On the Waterfront, and in 1957 for his screenplay A Face in the Crowd, directed by Elia Kazan. In 1951, screenwriter Richard Collins told a House committee that Schulberg was a former member of the Communist Party, as was Kazan.
Lieutenant Colonel George Stevens belonged to the U.S. Army Signal Corps and headed one of the film units (1943-1946), under Eisenhower. In 1945, Stevens directed Nazi Concentration Camps and also worked on the afore-mentioned film, The Nazi Plan both of which would provide prosecutorial evidence at the trials of Hermann Göring and twenty other German leaders. Those two films included footage from the Duben and Dachau camps. Stevens’ unit also shot the film footage that documented D-Day, the liberation of Paris and the meeting of American and Soviet forces at the Elbe River. He won the Legion of Merit for his work. In 2008, the Library of Congress accepted his footage as an “essential visual record” of the war. Thereafter, he had an award-winning career as a director. Some of his memorable films include A Place in the Sun (1951), Shane (1953), The Diary of Anne Frank (1959), Giant (1956) and The Greatest Story Ever Told.
There were many feature films promoting propaganda about Germany. In 1946, Orson Welles directed The Stranger starring Welles, Edward G. Robinson, and Loretta Young. Purportedly this was the first feature film to include footage of concentration camps. Victor Trivas wrote the Oscar-nominated screenplay while Sam Spiegel was the producer, Bronisław Kaper wrote the film’s musical score. The movie is about a member of the newly-created United Nations War Crimes Commission who is hunting for a Nazi fugitive.
At the end of the 1940s, Fred Zinnemann directed The Search (1948), starring Montgomery Clift, the story of a young Auschwitz survivor and his mother who search for each other across post-World War II Europe. They shot the film in the actual ruins of post-war German cities. Herbert B. Fredersdorf and Marek Goldstein directed Long is the Road (1949). From the end of the war up to today, producers, screenwriters and directors worldwide have created 180 feature films and 173 documentaries for a total of 353. Another source describes 242 films, both feature and documentary. A substantial number of the film names on the second list do not appear on the Wikipedia list, certainly a site where one should wisely exercise a bit of skepticism. One would have to conduct a comparative analysis of the two lists and would probably come up with a list numbering over 500 films. 1711
In 1948, Frédéric Siordet headed a team of authors associated with the politically neutral ICRC, which created a comprehensive three-volume report about Germany’s World War II camps. The ICRC utilized the 1929 Geneva Convention to acquire access to civilian German-held prisoners. Conversely, the Soviet Union, which had not signed the Convention, prohibited ICRC access to their camps, where millions of prisoners perished as a result of the horrific conditions. 1712
Despite the exponential growth of the multi-million dollar Holocaust industry, used to justify the existence of the Israeli state, scientific investigations of physical evidence and original documentation contradict the official Holocaust narrative. Investigators, using modern technology, have failed to find any evidence of mass graves or any indication of human remains. The Allies tortured accused Germans, deemed war criminals, forcing them to sign fabricated testimonies. Eyewitnesses, many who had never been in any camp, told ludicrous inconsistent, physically unfeasible stories. Because of the slanderous lies, based on a non-event, millions of ethnic Germans have suffered for decades. At the conclusion of the war, the Red Army and civilians in many Eastern European countries raped, pillaged and slaughtered millions of vulnerable ethnic Germans.
Eisenhower, Baruch’s Man in Europe
Ike’s Death Camps1713
We naturally associate the words “concentration camp” with NS Germany. Yet, the Germans did not originate the concentration of people for political, criminal or cultural reasons. Court historians and others routinely ignore the ongoing isolated incarceration of America’s indigenous population on reservations. In 1898, the U.S. military used what they called “pacification” camps in the Philippines. The British incarcerated the dissident civilians in South Africa during the Second Boer War (1899-1902) when the Brits were attempting to seize the Boer’s land and resources. The population of those camps in South Africa was 117,871. 1714 Within fourteen months at least 34,000 people died. The deliberate slaughter eliminated over fifty percent of the population under sixteen years of age.
Anna Roosevelt introduced Dwight D. “Ike” Eisenhower, a notorious womanizer, to her father, FDR, a person who shared Eisenhower’s worldviews, as they both had the same mentor. In 1928, Eisenhower met Bernard Baruch, known as the “King of the Jews,” who consistently rewarded his political protégés. On August 5, 1952, the Veterans of Foreign Wars awarded Eisenhower, then campaigning for the presidency, the very first Bernard Baruch Peace Medal. Warmongers regularly receive peace medals. Ike responded, “I was one of those who for the past quarter century has had the privilege of sitting at his feet and listening to his words of wisdom, words that are still mighty.” In the same speech, he said that he endorsed Baruch policies, those he had been urging for years. 1715 After Ike became president, he advocated those policies, including Baruch’s UN plan for total disarmament, to accommodate the Cold War charade. 1716 Disarming usually leads to rearming, which translates into huge profits for the Jewish-controlled military, industrial complex, the one that Ike, after the fact, warned us about in 1961.
In 1941, Eisenhower met Harry Hopkins, one of Roosevelt’s advisors. 1717 Within a short time, top military leaders closely associated with the White House promoted Eisenhower over 1,109 better-qualified, more competent officers who outranked him. 1718 In anticipation of imminent war plans, those in charge elevated him to a full Colonel in March 1941 and to Brigadier General in September, before the expected Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. By February 1942, through the influence of General George C. Marshall, a Pilgrims Society member, they appointed Eisenhower to the position of Assistant Chief of the War Plans Division where he learned some of the technicalities of executing military assaults against Japan and Germany. In March 1942, they appointed him as the Chief of the Operations Division, War Department General Staff. In June, they awarded him the position of Commanding General of the European Theater of Operations, stationed in London. Then, in his spectacular ascent, thanks to Baruch, they advanced him to the position of Supreme Commander, Allied Expeditionary Force for the invasion of Europe, scheduled for December 1943
. In February 1944, they designated him as the Supreme Allied Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force (SHAEF). 1719
From January 14-24, 1943, FDR, Joseph Stalin, and Winston Churchill and their military advisers, including George C. Marshall, and Ernest King, met in Casablanca to discuss Germany’s “unconditional surrender,” a term borrowed from Ulysses S. Grant, which included total post-war submission, national annihilation, the eradication of the existing government, and relinquishing all treaty rights, which also covers the treatment of POWs according to the Geneva Conventions. At the Soviet Embassy in Tehran, Stalin and FDR drank a toast to the deaths of 50,000 German officers who they laughingly thought that the Allies should immediately shoot at the conclusion of the war. 1720 On February 12, FDR gave a radio address regarding this “unconditional surrender.” In a letter to his wife, Ike said, “God, I hate the Germans. Why? Because the German is a beast.” 1721 Ike, with the opening of the Ruhr operation, said, “Our primary purpose is the destruction of as many Germans as possible. I expect to destroy every German west of the Rhine and within that area in which we are attacking.” 1722
Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau told FDR, “No one is studying how to treat Germany roughly along the lines you wanted.” FDR responded, “We have got to be tough with Germany and I mean the German people, not just the Nazis. We either have to castrate the German people, or you have got to treat them in such a manner that they can’t just go on reproducing people who want to continue the way they have in the past.” FDR had the perfect executioner in Eisenhower who would implement the extermination plan. Ike had said, referring to the Germans that he wanted to “treat them rough.” 1723 The only premeditated mass extermination operation in Germany was created by Morgenthau, a Jew. It is rather curious, that the Treasury Secretary would devise the program rather than the War Department.
Even before the Normandy Invasion on June 6, 1944, by May 1943, with the Axis surrender at Tunis, Ike had several hundred thousand German captives, who the military had transported in overcrowded boxcars to his infamous camps. Ike wrote in a letter, “It is a pity we could not have killed more.” On February 24, 1944, he appointed his old, very discreet friend, General Everett S. Hughes, as his special assistant, his “eyes and ears,” as he called him. He instructed Hughes, “Emphasis will be placed on the consultive aspect of your duties rather than on the inspection aspect.” In other words, he had no direct authority to make decisions. Ike was in charge of all policies, especially regarding the German POWs. 1724 General Walter B. Smith, his Chief of Staff, had endorsed Hughes’ abilities and perhaps his tendency towards unquestionable obedience. Smith later became Truman’s CIA Director and helped devise the overthrows of Guatemala’s President Arbenz and Iran’s Mohammad Mosaddegh, with John Foster Dulles. 1725
On August 4, 1944, Ike discussed POW rations with Hughes who constantly reduced them below those set by the supply officers according to the Geneva Conventions, prerequisites Ike had already dismissed before Germany surrendered. On September 16, Churchill and FDR agreed to implement the Morgenthau Plan, which included the complete destruction of German industry, another stipulation that was contrary to the Geneva Conventions. 1726 Ike, strictly for publicity purposes, gave what is now an obviously very hypocritical speech in Paris in March 1945, asserting that America would honor the Geneva Conventions with regard to the humane treatment of all German POWs. The United States had signed the Conventions, along with forty-six other countries, on July 27, 1929. 1727
The captor nation must construct the camp in which they detain POWs so that the conditions are similar to those used by the Belligerent’s own soldiers in base camps. They must locate the camps in healthy area away from the combat zone. Captors are to provide food of a similar quality and quantity as that of the Belligerent’s own soldiers. The captor cannot withhold food as a punishment and must also provide local produce, adequate clothing and sanitary service sufficient to prevent epidemics. They must provide medical facilities in each camp. 1728
German DEFs
On March 10, 1945, Ike signed an order proposing a “startling departure from the Geneva Convention.” He created a prisoner category, Disarmed Enemy Forces (DEFs), individuals the army did not feed after Germany’s surrender. The Allies had between seven and eight million DEFs. They captured 4.2 million before the new status, similar to another type, Surrendered Enemy Persons (SEFs). Giles MacDonogh writes that the later captives, about three to four million, “were not entitled to the same levels of shelter and subsistence.” Prisoners should have been covered by the Geneva and Hague Conventions. The Soviets had not those agreements and therefore were under no legal obligations regarding the treatment of prisoners of war. The Allies intended to use the Germans as slave labor, per the Morgenthau Plan, as discussed in the Moscow Declaration, of October 30, 1943 and at Yalta, February 4-11, 1945. 1729
On April 17, 1945, the United States opened Camp Rheinberg on the Rhine, about six miles wide in circumference. This was just one of several Rhine Meadow enclosures, many opened in mid-April. Like the others, this one had no food, no buildings, no tents, no cooking facilities, no water, and no latrines. The conditions caused rampant disease among the inmates who suffered from exposure, overcrowding, and malnutrition. 1730 Also on April 17, while Eisenhower was focusing media attention on the liberation of Buchenwald, the Americans captured Corporal Helmut Liebich near Gotha and placed him into the Disarmed Enemy Forces (DEF) enclosure. On his first day, there was a tiny food ration. To receive any food, the prisoners had to run a gauntlet between two lines of guards who beat them with sticks as they hurried through. 1731
On April 21, Ike sent another message to General Marshall reporting that the new enclosures “will provide no shelter or other comforts.” The prisoners had to improve the enclosures with whatever available materials. A later order prohibited the prisoners from erecting any kind of shelter. These enclosures were open fields surrounded by barbed wire known as Prisoner of War Temporary Enclosures (PWTE), complete with searchlights, guard towers, and men with machine guns. 1732 On April 27, they transferred Liebich and others to Camp B at Heidesheim where there was no food for several days and where there were over 5,000 starving, weak prisoners totally exposed to inclement weather; all in the tortuous process of dying. For shelter, many dug earth-holes in the soft sandy dirt. It rained hard one night and the earth shelters collapsed and the men were powerless to escape from their unexpected entombment. Others tried to unearth the victims but many suffocated before they could rescue them. Liebich, overwhelmed, wept. He said, “I could hardly believe men could be so cruel to each other.” 1733
In early May, the dreaded typhus appeared at Heidesheim. On May 13, the Americans moved Helmut Liebich to the DEF camp at Bingen-Budesheim where there were between 200,000 and 400,000 prisoners with no shelter, no food, no water, no medicine, and insufficient room. Liebich, delirious with typhus, also developed dysentery. They placed him, semi-conscious, into an open rail car and moved him, with approximately sixty others. After a three-day journey, the prisoners arrived at Rheinberg, another enclosure with no food or shelter. When they finally received a smidgeon of food, it was putrid. Prisoners told the new arrivals that, for fifteen days, there was no food at all. The Rheinberg camp death rate was about thirty percent a year. 1734
When the Americans relinquished control of the camp at Rheinberg in June, Liebich, along with other emaciated, dying men, was moved to a hospital at Lintfort. At that point, the five-feet, ten-inch tall man weighed less than 100 pounds. According to former prisoners, before the Americans turned the camp over to the British, in mid-June, they bulldozed part of the camp and buried live, surviving prisoners in their earth-holes. Of course, there was no media blitz at Ike’s camps. If not for James Bacque’s documented research, the conditions at Rheinberg would have remained concealed. The patients at Lintfort received sufficient food but for many, they were too close to death to benefit from the nourishment. Liebich l
ived to disclose his experiences. Thousands did not. 1735 By summer 1945, Britain and America had more than six million Germans locked in enclosures. The Soviets had over two million. 1736 See Michael Palomino’s complete list of Eisenhower’s enclosures. 1737
One of Eisenhower’s enclosures
The open-air enclosures lacked even the barest facilities found in German camps, which typically had kitchens, infirmaries, hospitals, latrines and barracks. Auschwitz had two-story, heated brick barracks with flush toilets. 1738 With no latrines, crowded anxious inmates, standing almost shoulder-to-shoulder, by necessity, often relieved themselves where they stood which created a growing quagmire of contaminated putrid mud. Latrines, actually ditches, where available, were abominable, perilous death traps for those who slipped. Food, water and shelter, basic human necessities, were unavailable in the American camps, per Eisenhower’s orders, although sufficient food resources, tents, blankets, were readily available in the army’s supply depots. On April 22, 1945, the United States had, in Europe, fifty days’ worth of 4,000-calorie rations to feed five million people and other lower-calorie rations for an additional fifty days. 1739
One of Ike’s Death camps
James Bacque wrote, “In April 1945, hundreds of thousands of German soldiers as well as the sick from hospitals, amputees, women auxiliaries, and civilians were caught… One inmate at Rheinberg was over 80 years old, another was aged nine… Nagging hunger and agonizing thirst were their companions, and they died of dysentery. A cruel heaven pelted them week after week with streams of rain… amputees slithered like amphibians through the mud, soaking and freezing. Naked to the skies day after day and night after night, they lay desperate in the sand of Rheinberg or slept exhaustedly into eternity in their collapsing holes.” George Weiss, a survivor, reported that the total absence of water was “the worst thing” of all. He reported, “For three and a half days we had no water at all. We would drink our own urine. It tasted terrible, but what could we do?” 1740
